1.4 16v Dynamique+
Didnt really want to start a thread in this section about this as i feel my 'project' is very inferior to some of the other major projects that are in this section and that i admire but as its an ongoing thing though i would anyway!
Used to own a MK1 1.2 8v, was my first car so enjoyed the freedom and all that and did really like it-hadnt experienced anything else so couldn't compare, anyway came across this forum one day and was inspired by some of the very nice clios on here. It made me want to invest in a newer car which i would be more comfortable spending a bit of money on. Anyway ended up going for a MK2 PH2 1.4 16v dynamique+ which i picked up for a price i was really happy with. Wanted something with a bit more grunt than the 1.2 engines and with there not being much difference between a 1.4 and 1.6 decided on this one for insurance and running cost etc.
This is how it came as standard. Pretty good condition, few marks on the paintwork but nothing a decent polish wouldn't sort.
Sorry for the picture quality, left my camera at uni the only weekend i really wanted it!!!
Had a few modifications in mind, didnt want to go over the top just wanted to make the car different from the masses. Also at the moment dont think ill be going for an RS rep. Dont want to be a sheep.
Ordered some bit of the internet and others off here, was like christmas when they arrived!
Also ordered (forgot to take photos)
-RS Grille
-Smaller aerial
-Clear side repeaters
-Silvervisions
Fitted all of the items at once last weekend so got a few before and afters....
Speakers-didnt take a 'before shot' but the standard speakers looked shocking! tweaters fitted in original dash position...
Next was springs! - using the guides on here!
Old Rears
New Sportlines
Difference
Fronts going in
Wheels cleaned while off, where embarrassingly dirty!
Before
After-still could be cleaner, was in a rush to get the car back on the ground!
Cleaned the arches all round
Before
After
Once down took some overall shots and cleaned
Before
After
Before
After
Few others...
Notice the RS Grille, Side repeaters, Silvervisions and Aerial
Am so so happy with the difference, is unbelievable how much of an improvement the Eibachs are!
Still need to be bedded in a bit so guess might even sit a tad lower which would be nice but very happy how it is now.
Next few mods planned are:
-Colour Code all round
-Some kind of subtle exhaust
-Refurb and fit some OZ F1s ive got sitting in the shed.
Cheers for reading:approve:
